Tax time can be a very anxious time as people begin to wonder whether they will strike it rich or end up paying out big time. The good news is that using modern software programs like Turbo Tax 2015 can not only make preparation easier, it can mean less stress next year.

If you have not already purchased a copy of TurboTax 2015, you may be surprised to find out that there are multiple versions of the software meant for different financial situations. To start, read the descriptions on the boxes on from the Turbo Tax 2015 website. If you own a home, have significant investments, or are self-employed, the company has different offerings for each situation.

The next step is to gather documents that you will need to get taxes ready. If you don’t already save receipts, now is the time to start. If you have medical expenses, donate money or items to charity, have a child in daycare, or have purchased an energy efficient appliance this year, you will want to have receipts handy as these can all decrease your 2015 tax burden.

Finally, spend a few minutes checking any documents that show your income (like W-2s from your work) as well as statements from banks, student loans, or anyone else who may have information about your taxes.
